Org for GTD and other Task managment systems

Org and GTD

Org-mode is flexible enough to implement many different ways of
organizing your projects. A frequently discusses scheme is David
Allen's strategy for Getting Things Done. But it is clearly not the
only way to us Org-mode for planning. Here are a couple of links
related to this topic.

Here is a very instructive post by Pete Phillips explaining
why David Allen's book is the best place to start learning GTD
and that the Internet and Org-mode should only come into the
game later, when you start thinking about the implementation.
And since doing GTD the right way will give you lots of free
time, don't forget to listen to Pete's music!

Also on the web you can find information about how people are
setting up Org-mode to fit their habits. A few examples:

This tutorial on custom agenda commands offers a few examples of
how to make GTD reviews easier using custom agenda searches.

Org and Pomodoro

Pomodoro is a time management technique. In this thread, Frédéric Couchet
describes how he uses Org for Pomodoro:

I always start a clock when I work on a task. And for the Pomodoro
technique I use also the org-timer module with some configuration.
Activate the org-timer module :
(add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-timer)
Set a default value for the timer, for example :
(setq org-timer-default-timer 25)
Modify the org-clock-in so that a timer is started with the default
value except if a timer is already started :
(add-hook 'org-clock-in-hook (lambda ()
(if (not org-timer-current-timer)
(org-timer-set-timer '(16)))))
